End Time Cores

C 49, Is It Really The End? [FINALE]

Aimy's POV

It rained so heavily today that we all couldn't leave our homes.

I've really enjoyed the long holiday we had before graduation. That being stock at home again was beginning to make me feel uncomfortable. That's probably why Hayley chose an early entry date to college.

I decided to read my Bible for a while, then afterwards make a video call with my friends. Which Emer managed to beat me to.
Harry joined minutes later, and could only say hi before hanging up. Which was pretty weird.

I got a private text later from Emer, she claimed to have something to inform me.

After the video call, I completely forgot about her, since I went offline.

I started having that doubtful feeling again about leaving on Friday. So, I decided to pray.

While doing so, my phone dinged.
I thought it was a message from Emer, who I just remembered I had promised to get back to, but it was from Stanford university.

I got an offer letter! Which apparently was suppose to reach me a few weeks ago, but didn't because of bad network. I know that, cause I saw multiple of it, and emails to know whether I was still interested in studying there.
I was going to reply instantly, but then I froze. Now, I had a choice to further my studies or go on a ministerial duty.
I have no idea what to do now.
On one hand I finally got what I've always wanted, on the other hand there's what I feel God wants for me.

What am I to choose?

I know the answer to that, yes. It's obviously what God wants, but I'm still very uncertain it's from him.
Perhaps it's just me not wanting to spend a hole year at home, when I wasn't yet sure I'd get into college.
But now I am, but I still feel like I needed to do this. Men! Having double choices to pick from is hard stuff. I kind of wish the message never came in now.

I should tell them though. That I finally got an offer, and that they were right all along– It was bad service.

************************************

Next Day
In the evening.

It was our last gathering together, so after service, Harry treated us to some expensive restaurant for us to just Chat and hang. He didn't stay long though, for some reason.
It also almost felt like he was avoiding me.

Anyways, I told them everything. That I finally got an offer, and that they were right about the bad service.

They were all really happy for me, at least until I told them I declined the offer.
They were completely speechless.
(And yes, I declined the offer. I did this morning. Crazy right? But I prayed about it, and somehow I still had that clear feeling to still volunteer for the ministerial duty.

I know I'm missing out on a one in a lifetime opportunity, but I feel like this is what I've to do.

Hayley's POV

I can't believe Aimy finally got an admission, but has decided to throw it away.
I just really hope she knows what she's doing.
I also can't believe I now have this many friends, and I could feel this free and happy, even though nothing much has changed.
It's just the inward me that feels different, and everything outside just seems to work, even when it doesn't.

I just wish my sister could also taste this feeling. Perhaps it would change her outwardly as well.
For now all she cares about is making money.

Victoria's POV

Aimy's forfeiting her admission.
I'm not really that surprised though, God always had big plans for her.
She has no idea what this one obedience has in store for her.

I'm really grateful to God for capturing this ones and heeding to my requests. My second best friend is now saved. He even went beyond to her friend and who could've thought about Emer– her friend– or Harris wynn.
Perhaps soon we'd be having Cardi-B in here as a convert.

Emer's POV

Aimy, Hayley, and even Victoria.
Who could've thought I could hang out with people like that.
Hayley I still understand, but Aimy, worst of all Victoria the evangelist. Talk less of feeling a bit sad that I'd be leaving them soon.

I never thought I could have fun doing things like this, and I'm even missing them already. Especially Vicky. She's a really nice person, also not Judgy at all.
I wish we didn't have to separate, and I really hope we'd meet again later in life.
I also hope nothing changes too much, but who am I kidding? In time there's always a change, whether positive or negative. There must be one. I do hope it's the first one though.

Harry's POV

I can't believe she's leaving now, and I still couldn't say a thing to her.
I couldn't even go to the airport.
All I could do was anonymously send a huge amount of money to support the church to care for them.

I didn't want to go, so I wouldn't have to stop her.
I don't want to ever come in the way of her calling. I can only hope she accomplishes it.

Aimy's POV

It's goodbye, just like that.
I almost began crying once I saw them leave as the plane began to take off.
But why didn't Harry show up? I somehow felt like he owed me something. Like an explanation.

I wish them all well, and I hope for them as well as for myself, that they do not fall far from God in their new journey. Especially for those ones who don't have control over their lives.
And Yes, the world hasn't ended yet. But I am glad I don't have to be afraid when it does...

THE END

Thanks so much for reading End time core, I hope you enjoyed it.

Oh, there's still more adventure.
I had a hole lot more scheduled.

We know Aimy's joining a missionary travelling team, and the rest are going off to college. We also know that there's still more to the story behind Aimy's adoption, and that her father is a mischievous person.

At least she's conquered her fear of end time, and has finally drawn closer to God. Even the rich kids seem to be tagging along.

We haven't heard much from Jessica cause she had travelled out of the country to cover her shame. Even Patricia's has gone Rodge. Wonder what she's been up to.

There's still much to uncover, and see.
So, should there be a sequel or additional chapters
Type Yes in the comment section if you want one.

Thanks again for following through to the end. Byeeeeeeeeee.

Happy Sunday ☀️
